Legacy of 1804 on creativity hiatus in February
The first Legacy of 1804 show was held 10/4/2013 and I have played over 225 live episodes on just about every Friday night since. Friday nights are becoming harder and harder for me because of other commitments so I need some time to figure out what the new broadcasting schedule should look like or even if there are other formats to pursue. I also need a broadcasting vacation, i.e. a period of about a month or so to relax, rejuvenate and experiment, the best strategy to unleash one's creativity.
I will therefore be taking my first month off from live Friday night broadcasting in over 4 years starting tonight and plan to relish it. I encourage you to check out old episodes if you miss our chatter and welcome feedback and suggestions about the show and what you would like to see on it or how you would like to see it evolve or change in the comment section. The more feedback I get from you, the more productive and creative my time off should be.
As I experiment, I may post excerpts of commentary on Haiti that I find interesting or even pre-recorded commentary on days other than Fridays so please continue to check periodically or sign up to get email updates!

Legacy of 1804 | Laurent Lamothe | Bitcoin in Haiti? #LOF1804
Hosts: Daniella Bien-Aimé, Alice
Guest: Former Haiti Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe
Topic: Bitcoin and Haiti
When: 9AM this Saturday (i.e. this week's show will not be held during our usual Friday at 9PM slot)
MAKE SURE TO CALL IN AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS!
Places to listen: Player below or at kiskeacity.com | Phone: 714-242-6119 | BlogTalkRadio Link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pancaribbean/2017/10/07/legacy-of-1804-laurent-lamothe-bitcoin-and-haiti-lof1804
POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS/LIVE TWEETS
We had a great and diverse conversation with former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe with lots of questions from listeners and a very active tweetup which you can find below. Lamothe explained what bitcoin is and why he believes it is a good technology to adopt in Haiti, including by the Central Bank issuing a haitian cryptocurrency. Such tool would change the way the diaspora sends money, making it cheaper and could be used to streamline the process of paying for government services such as electricity. Cryptocurrencies would also foster ease of commerce among Haitians and with the world by bringing better payment systems to Haitian micro-enterprises. Lamothe expounded on the need for the diaspora to empower itself through electoral representation in the United States, including to better represent the interests of 68,000 Haitian TPS holders. He felt that the diaspora needs to be as focused on its empowerment in countries where they live as as they are on Haitian politics. He specifically mentioned the use of forums such as LOF1804 in Haiti and the diaspora and potential Haitian Diaspora Bitcoin Associations to educate the haitian public on cryptocurrencies.
We had callers from all over the diaspora including Canada, Florida, Haiti and Boston, among others.

Legacy of 1804 | Darnell Benoit | Flanbwayan Haitian Literacy Project #LOF1804
Host: Alice
Guest: Darnell Benoit, Executive Director, Flanbwayan Haitian Literacy Project . She will join us at 10PM. In the first hour we will survey the impact of recent hurricanes on Puerto Rico and Dominica.
When: 9PM This Friday (tonight)
Places to listen: Player below or at kiskeacity.com | Phone: 714-242-6119 | BlogTalkRadio Link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pancaribbean/2017/09/30/legacy-of-1804-darnell-benoit-flanbwayan-haitian-literacy-project-lof1804
Post Show Highlights
Hour 1: Hugues Girard reassured us that he and his family were spared by Irma and updated us on the aftermath of the hurricane in the rest of Florida, the Jovenel Moïse administration's modification of the diaspora tax after much pressure and recent protests against the administration. We then talked about Caribbean solidarity for relief efforts in Puerto Rico and often overlooked Dominica, as well as some of the politics surrounding these disasters. See live tweets below for ways to help. (For PR, click the Remezcla link.)
Hour 2: Darnell Benoît, a teacher, introduced us to the Flanbwayan Haitian Literacy Project which she founded 12 years ago and manages to this day. Although I'd initially thought that the organization worked with adults, it actually focuses on high school students who have recently migrated from Haiti, do not speak English and are in danger of not graduating. Flanbwayan advocates for them at the city level, creates a haven for them, both pairing them with resources to help them graduate and providing a culture-filled environment for them after school. See live tweets below for more. Flanbwayan has a fundraiser coming up October 21 at Kinanm Lounge.

Host: Alice
Time: 10:30 PM (NOT 9PM tonight!)
Topics: Jean-Paul James case in Brooklyn | Updates on Bwa Kayiman celebrations in Brooklyn and Cuba last weekend | Latest on Haitians in Canada including Fatima Oriol case
Places to listen: Player below | Phone: 714-242-6119 | BlogTalkRadio Link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pancaribbean/2017/08/19/legacy-of-1804-haiti-news--blog-review-8182017-lof1804
POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
We discussed the case of Jean-Paul James, Haitian man who shot and killed a man in Brooklyn in an apparent act of self-defense and was arrested on his way to a flight. We got an update on Bwa Kayiman commemorations in Brooklyn and among Haitian descendants in Cuba.Most importantly, we revisited recent Haitian migrants in Canada and their prospects as Canada seems to be slowing down their movement to larger cities. Also, what was the Haitian government delegation really doing in Canada? Potential collaboration with Canadian authorities in anticipation of eventual deportations? Note the case of Fatima Oriol whose deportation appears imminent despite her integration into Canadian life, working as a nurse and volunteering. She was hoping to reunite with her 4 children and husband in Canada but that may not pan out. On the topic of children, what will happen to those left behind in the US by parents who are now seeking asylum in Canada? Hugues Girard proposes that the Haitian community in the States do its best to be the main foster care recipients of those children if need be.

POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
In the first segment (00-00:30) Sherlee Skai talked to us about her upcoming album and the premiere for it taking place July 8 in Brooklyn. We also listened to her music.
For the rest of the show Hugues Girard and I talked to Natacha Jn-Simon, a Bahamian of Haitian descent and student in Florida after listening to the Haiti Film Fest panel discussion for My Father's Land, a film about the journey to Haiti of Papa Jah, a Haitian living in the Bahamas. She answered questions about how she was able to become a "paper Bahamian" and get scholarships while other stellar Haitians in the Bahamas were not. We also discussed Haitian identity and living standards in the Bahamas, the colonial origins of the stigmatization of Haitians in the Bahamas, inevitable upward mobility, parallels and distinctions with the situation of Dominicans of Haitian descent, Bahamian Haitian young adult organizations, Papa Jah's neighborhood The Mud, home of a recent Bahamian Miss Universe candidate of Haitian descent and Ms. Jn-Simon's and her parents' personal experience.
